Your Thunderbird data and settings are stored separate from the program. Reinstalling, as you see, rarely fixes issues like this.

Do you have your Folder Pane showing on the left side with all your accounts and folder?

If not, from the Menu Bar select View-Layout-Folder Pane and turn it back on.

No Menu Bar showing? Press the Alt key to make it appear.

If this is not the issue, post a screenshot of what you are seeing.
